Natpower Marine
Sustainable Ships developed a shore power pricing assessment from a shipowner’s cost and compliance perspective.
NatPower Marine required a clear understanding of how shore power competes with onboard energy solutions over the lifetime of a vessel. The objective was to assess shore power not in isolation, but in the context of alternative fuels and hybrid configurations, taking into account emissions reduction, regulatory compliance, and long-term cost implications from a shipowner’s perspective.
Sustainable Ships developed a comparative assessment of feasible energy configurations for a hybrid merchant vessel, including methanol and biofuel blends, battery hybrid systems, and combinations with and without shore power. The analysis translated these options into cost, emissions, and regulatory outcomes, providing NatPower Marine with a data-driven basis for understanding shore power pricing and its competitiveness relative to alternative decarbonisation pathways.
